Almost all the big guy strategies involve serving big, ripping off winners to hold serve, then when they return, they either go for broke, or more likely, just hit the ball back and hope the server makes a dumb mistake, at which point big guy pounces and pummells the ball for a winner.
Call if offensive, selective offense, or whatever, that's the big guy strategy starting with Sampras.

His movement and quickness are the biggest holes in his game,and he can be inconsistent from the baseline. Too bad his game is like the tennis form of Ambien. He has no personality and is a total boring snoozefest.

Maybe he lulls his opponents into a sleep state so he can pounce?
But sure I'd like to see a little more personality. A smile, some enthusiasm perhaps. But none of the big guys have much for some reason.

He is ranked 60th in % return games won, so not amazing.
Had his fair share of injuries already, short points or not.

Thanks for that.

I couldn't find that particuar ranking but I looked at the big guys I'm most familar with and compared two stats, not including yesterday but
Games that were broken, and games that were able to break, and the margin. Milos has the lowest % for broken and a better break % than Isner.

I don't know but would think that the greater the margin the higher winning % that is likely. Of course the ranking depends on which matches and torneys that are won, not just overall winning.

But Raonic's margin is just a few % point below the top big guys, and better
than Isner.

Now that's where you are totally off base.
While Kobe, LeBron, Durant, and of course Jordan can move really quickly and change directions well FOR A BIG GUY, no way can they stay with the KevinJohnsons, IsiaThomas's, CrisPauls, or TonyParkers in the game.
The reason you see the big guys blow past the little quicker guys is the hand check and body check before the move. Push a guy 1/4 step back, you're free to move past.
A little guy blows past those big guys, but the big guys hand check, reach in, and body up the little guys when playing D.
Look at the size of NFL cornerbacks. NOT ONE, who's a coverage specialist, is over 6' tall, and most are closer to 5'9" tall.
NFL draws from a pretty big pool of athletic talent.
While RandyMoss and LarryFitzgerald can run as fast and jump higher than any CB, they need a preplanned route, while the CB is adlibbing and constantly changing his direction to REACT to the reciever's moves.

Really amazing performance against both these top players.
He didn't look like he was playing patsy cake and used his size and
strength and movement to his advantage. And both matches were
enjoyable to watch.
